g. Carefully remove the Velcro strap from the spread spectrum radio
board but do not pull it from under the main electronics board
(FIGURE 6-11). The board is additionally retained by connector
tension at two connectors below the board. Grasp the edges of the
spread spectrum radio board with your free hand and carefully pull it
off of the main electronics board.

h. Your replacement spread spectrum radio was shipped in a special
ESD protective bag. Remove the replacement radio from this bag and
put the radio you removed into the same ESD bag.
2. Spread Spectrum Radio Replacement:
a. The replacement radio will have the main carrier frequency printed on
the white label with the word MaxStream. It will be either 900 MHz
or 2.4 GHz. Verify that the carrier frequency is the same as that
indicated on the spread spectrum radio you removed before
proceeding further. If it is not, and you are not intentionally changing
the radio frequencies in both the weather station and the radio base
station (they must be the same frequency), then contact Campbell
Scientific immediately.
b. Once the radio frequency has been verified, orient the spread spectrum
radio board so that the main electronics board connectors will mate
with the proper pins on the bottom of the radio board. Press the
spread spectrum radio board into its mating connectors until it is
firmly seated, and then tightly attach the Velcro board retaining strap.
c. Place the two sections of the weather station main body together,
making sure that none of the wiring bundles will be crushed by the
edges or by the seven housing screws when the two sections are
secured with screws.
